Looking for JSP/Servlet/JSTL Graphics example

Has anyone ever dynamically created an interactive flowchart from a JSP, JSTL, or Servlet?  Is this possible?

Example? Advice?

You could do this using SVG. If you have XML data, you could transform that to SVG using XSLT. But SVG is not supported by all browsers, and this would also mean that you should be familiar with SVG and XSLT.

>Is this possible?  
Yes. It is even possible using just HTML. Just an example look at the source code for

They use a map element to accomplish the interaction.  Please tell us what you have in mind. Maybe we will have some ideas.
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.

rrz, I'm trying to draw a flow chart that maps a students progress through courses and quizes.  

a simple example:   Student needs to take 3 one-hour courses and pass a test to earn a certificate.  If the student simply wants to renew their certificate they must pass a pre-test.  If the student fails the pre-test they must take the 3 one-hour courses and final exam like the rest of the students.

I want to have interactive icons that represent the quizes, courses, and certificates.  Students right-click on icons a menu item pops up "Take Exam".  

I want to be able to change the icons as the student completes steps in the flow.  by adding a check-mark.   I want to make this highly visual and easy-to-understand with the end user.

Additional Advice?

I really didn't like the way you treated me at
https://www.experts-exchange.com/questions/22541616/jsp-forward-problem.html 
So, I hesitate to put any work of this question.  Maybe  R7AF  will explain how his idea would work.

rrz,

Perhaps I'm missing your point.  Nothing I posted or did was intended to ill-treat, belittle, or harass.  My Sincere appologies If I've done something wrong.  Perhaps you can explain why you feel that way?      

In my opinion, you are clearly the winner on that question.  I haven't awarded the points because I haven't completely implemented the solution.   The fact no award has been given is a reminder to me to fix my code nothing more.  Perhaps you're reading too much into it?

If you would like additional points to help you forget about it, I can certainly arrange that.  Once again, my sincere appologies.

R7AF,  I like the chart recommendation.  its similar to the JFreeChart library I've used in other projects.  Its not clear to me how to draw a flow chart using a xz, line, barchart, pie chart, type library.
